If equities fall the global equity idea could underperform therefore we add some protection within the idea to cushion performance if risk assets have a set back

Approving ideasOur central economic thesis

18

Source: Invesco Perpetual as of 31 July 2015. For illustrative purposes only.

Low, but positive, global economic growth Longer-term structural growth rates will remain subdued Inventory and capex concerns a potential drag on US economic growth Cyclical European recovery continues despite political risks

Uncertain market impacts from changing liquidity Continued low short interest rates but potential for some rises (e.g. UK, US) Emerging markets are vulnerable to US dollar and rates moves Doubts over the real economy benefits from central bank action e.g. Japan

Low inflation continues globally Ongoing competitive currency devaluation to keep inflation subdued Underlying inflation low as structural factors remain e.g. debt overhang Implied inflation priced into forward interest rates remains elevated

Select opportunities in risk assets Cautious whether future earnings will grow enough to support equity valuations Demand for yield distorting fixed income valuations; US high yield fairer priced Diversified alpha as an additional source of value

Various catalysts for market volatility Divergent economic policy continues to drive increased volatility Volatility likely from non-market forces, e.g. political interference Long-term impacts from the misallocation of capital

Three examples of investment ideas

1. Economies are fighting for their share of global trade –competitiveness is key across Asian markets to be able to compete. We believe the Korean Won needs to depreciate versus the Japanese Yen

2. The opportunities in fixed income lie in relative value ideas where the relative economic divergences have not yet been priced in. We expect the difference between Australian and Eurozone bond yields to narrow.

3. Sectors provide an indication as to economic growth expectations embedded in particular segments of the market. We expect US consumer staples stocks to outperform US consumer discretionary stocks given US growth risks.

ConclusionAchieving “genuine” diversification

Asset class correlations are dynamic and change over time, so will not always provide diversification

A degree of flexibility is needed to achieve genuine diversification throughout the cycle – think about investment ideas rather than asset classes

Within the Invesco Global Targeted Returns Fund we integrate risk and fund management to enable us to achieve both our return and risk objectives.

Risk warnings

The value of investments, and income will fluctuate (this may partly be the result of exchange rate fluctuations) and investors may not get back the full amount invested.

The fund will invest in derivatives (complex instruments) which will be significantly leveraged resulting in large fluctuations in the value of the fund.

The fund may hold debt instruments which are of lower credit quality and may result in large fluctuations of the value of the fund.

The fund may be exposed to counterparty risk should an entity with which the fund does business become insolvent resulting in financial loss. This counterparty risk is reduced by the Manager, through the use of collateral management.

Please refer to the most up to date relevant fund and share class-specific Key Investor Information Document (KIID) for more information on our funds. For a complete set of risks please consult the current prospectus.

Invesco Global Liquidity has US$72.3 billion in assets worldwide

The senior investment team has worked together for over a decade

The cash allocation pool will be invested in money market instruments

39

Source: Invesco as at 31 July 2015. Where the investment team has expressed opinions, they are based on current market conditions and are subject to change without notice. These opinions may differ from those of other Invesco investment professionals.

The Global Liquidity team aims to achieve:

Preservation of principal Liquidity Yield

Credit risk is mitigated by investing in a portfolio of high quality and well diversified short-term debt instruments, supported by an independent credit approval and monitoring process.

The “approved list” requires a minimum short-term credit rating of A1/P1/F1.

Market risk is mitigated by limiting the weighted average maturity of the portfolio to a maximum of 60 days.

Liquidity risk is mitigated by holding a high proportion of cash in overnight deposits and liquid money market securities.

Where appropriate, high quality European bills may be used.

The aim is to achieve a balance between liquidity and yield. Due to the use of commercial papers and certificates of deposit, the cash portfolio should generate a slightly higher yield than overnight deposits.

Collateral ManagementReducing counterparty risk

40

1. Introduction Invesco has a collateral policy to reduce counterparty risk on OTC derivatives

transactions

2. Collateralrequirements

Invesco requires collateral for the following types of transactions: stock lending, reverse repurchase transactions, and OTC derivative transactions

In practice, Invesco will generally only accept cash as collateral on OTC derivative transactions

OTC derivative transactions won’t trigger automatic collateral payments and will be based on appropriate materiality levels, therefore no initial margin exchanged

Daily check on concentration and spread rules by portfolio ops; additional reporting provided to compliance and IRF

3. Collateral coverage

In relation to OTC derivatives we operate a minimum transfer amount under the Credit Support Annex (CSA) where applicable:

– The fund will obtain or pay collateral where the netted unrealised gain or loss is greater than 250,000 in the base currency of the fund

– For smaller funds, where 250,000 is significantly more than 0.5% of the NAV, a smaller amount can be agreed and specified in the CSA

Where the fund is in receipt of collateral or where collateral is re-invested for more than 20% of NAV then additional checks will need to be completed to ensure compliance with ESMA guidelines

4. Stress testing

Stress tests on the liquidity of the collateral to be implemented if collateral exceeds 30% of the fund’s NAV

Liquidity stress tests are performed in line with portfolio liquidity stress tests by GPMR

5. Re-investment of collateral

Cash collateral received as a result of transactions in OTC derivatives contracts will be held at the custodian of the fund

Any cash collateral re-invested is done so in line with the ESMA guidelines

For illustrative purposes only.
